One way to celebrate Black History month in February is to invest in a piece of African-American fine art. Swann Galleries in New York is holding an auction devoted entirely to African-American Fine Art on February 6. The sale includes over 200 prints, sculptures, drawings and paintings. The sale includes prints from Jacob Lawrence which are estimated to sell for up to $160,000 and collages and oil paintings from Romare Bearden, estimated to sell for up to $100,000. My favorites are the wood sculptures. A mahogany Nude Torso which is is believed to be the first sculpture by Elizabeth Catlett ever to come to auction is estimated to sell for $100,000 to $150,000, but my favorite piece is New Moon, 1933, shown here from Leslie Garland Bolling which should bring between $20,000-$30,000. The works of art will be on public exhibition at Swann Galleries from January 31 to February 2. Swann is also holding their twelfth annual sale of Printed & Manuscript African Americana on February 27. This sale includes a copy of Langston Hughes's rarest book, The Dream Keeper and a large archive of jazz great Fats Waller material, including two pieces of music and signed documents.
